Holly
Woodlawn will be returning to the Fez Under Time Cafe in New York for
special holiday performances on December 11th and 12th, 2004. She previously
played there in August 2004 accompanied by her trademark bottle of Thunderbird
(a prop). Holly currently lives in Los Angeles and is working on turning her
autobiography, A Low Life in High Heels, into a film.

Holly Woodlawn in A Low Life in High
Heels: "It seemed that everyone was content to forget me... at least
until the release of Trash on October 5, 1970... The film catapulted
me into the media's eye, and I became a favorite among the critics. The fact
that I was in prison heightened the sensational angle, which Daily Variety
took full advantage of by blasting: 'Trash Star Found in Trash Can' for all
my neighbors to see. The attention certainly thrilled Andy, prompting him
to see me in a different light. Sure, I was still a poverty-stricken low-life,
but now I was a famous low-life... Yet even after the publicity,
the praise, and the glory, the Factory still chose to leave me imprisoned.
When a reporter called to inquire about my arraignment, a Factory spokesperson
replied, "Holly only worked for us eight days. We're sorry she's in jail,
but we're not responsible..." Then one brisk October morning while dining
on hard toast, a hardly boiled egg, and that hideous coffee, I heard those
blessed words escape the guard's mouth: 'Holly Woodlawn, pack your panties.
You're out on bail.'"(HW17)

Warhol star and former model, painter and singer, Ivy Nicholson,
has finished making her new film in New York. A screening is planned for later
this month. Full details of the screening will be posted here when confirmed.
Recent photographs of Ivy show her looking as glamorous now as she did in
the sixties and bearing a remarkable resemblance to her daughter - the actress
Penelope Palmer. Ivy is seated in front of Billy
Name photographs that were exhibited at the titanium-clad Guggenheim Museum
in Bilbao, Spain. For more about Ivy's film see archive.

AND THE WINNER IS...

Marcel Duchamp's toilet (aka Fountain) appeared
on the front pages of both The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph
here in London on Thursday December 2, 2004. According to the Telegraph,
the "500 most powerful people in the British art world," including
artists, dealers, critics and curators, were asked to vote on the single most
influential work of art in the twentieth century. Artists who took part included
David Hockney, Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. Duchamp's Fountain came
in first with 64% of the vote, Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
(1907) was second with 42% of the vote and Warhol's Marilyn Diptych
(1962) won third place with 29% of the vote - beating Picasso's Guernica
which was in fourth place, polling 19%. Duchamp's readymades are generally
credited in art history as a seminal influence on Pop Art. (For more on Pop
Art see articles).

The rest of the top ten were: 5. The Red Studio
by Henri Matisse; 6. I Like America and America Likes Me by Joseph
Beuys; 7. Endless Column by Constantin Brancusi; 8. One: No.
31 by Jackson Pollock; 9. 100 untitled works in mill aluminum
by Donald Judd and 10. Reclining Figure 1929 by Henry Moore.
